Signature campaign opposing Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film launched in Kolkata

Akhil Bhartiya Shakti Samaj launched a signature campaign ,Bran effigy of Film Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and protest against the release of the upcoming Bollywood movie ' Padmavati' in Kolkata,India. The film has been mired in controversy over conjectures that it "distorts history" regarding Rajput queen Padmavati, a contention that Bhansali has repeatedly denied. Its release has been "voluntarily" deferred from its scheduled date of 1 December. Some Hindu groups have been protesting against the movie's release while some political outfits have demanded that its release be deferred in view of the Gujarat Assembly elections. The makers have also not got clearance yet from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which said the application from the makers was "incomplete". (Photo by Debajyoti Chakraborty/NurPhoto)
